I did not think this would - as many threads on here do - talk about Escalante Staircase; highway 12 between Torrey and Escalante. Read Mountain Directory West. I am an experienced mountain driver and would not recommend that drive with an rv. Simple as that.
The road has many grades, some very steep. It has tight curves. And the hogback section has dropoffs on both sides, little shoulder and no guardrails.
And, of course, the "other driver" that takes their half out of the middle which is not fun at any time in any vehicle regardless if it is the hogback, a tight turn or they are gawking, on the phone or texting.
I hafta laff as people who show the pictures they want so as to prove a point and avoid the whole truth. Seems soos's pictures do just that. Soos must be a politician as they are good at that! :-)
